NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics + CNEOS MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_small_body |
NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics — look up an asteroid or comet by name or designation and return its orbit and physical parameters (eccentricity, semi-major axis, MOID, diameter, albedo, NEO/PHA flags). Keyless. |
close_approaches |
NASA/JPL CNEOS — list near-Earth close approaches to Earth in a date range, with miss distance (AU), relative velocity (km/s), and absolute magnitude (size proxy). Keyless. |
impact_risk |
NASA/JPL CNEOS Sentry — Earth impact risk for asteroids. Pass a designation for one object's cumulative impact probability, Palermo/Torino scale, diameter, and impact window; or omit it to list all currently-tracked objects above an impact-probability threshold. Keyless. |
recent_fireballs |
NASA/JPL CNEOS — most recent atmospheric fireballs/bolides detected by U.S. Government sensors, with date, radiated and total impact energy (kilotons of TNT), location, altitude, and velocity. Keyless. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"jpl-ssd": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/jpl-ssd/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Jpl Ssd data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
